Dawn’s Bio:
Dawn Wiggins became a marriage and family therapist because of her own experience as a child of divorce. About 10 years into her career, she thought: “This doesn’t work. This sucks.” At the same time, she became trained in EMDR. And that was a game changer. She saw her clients healing so much faster and more deliciously.
She expanded her practice to integrate multiple modalities from EMDR to EFT tapping, journaling, and energetic remedies for the mind and body—because you can’t heal one without healing the other. As a top-ranked therapist, she garnered a waiting list and top secret “who’s who” clientele. But it’s her mission to deliver life-changing therapy in an accessible, scalable, affordable way and make waves in the world of mental health with the same enlightenment that happens in her office. Part science, part essential oils, pure magic.
She helps people crack open, with a candid approach that sometimes inspires frustration. Because being cracked open can feel terrifying. Parts of you that you didn’t know existed reveal themselves. Past traumas you’d buried or never even knew you had come to the surface. And the thing is: once you crack open, it’s hard to go back. The only way out is through.
But not to worry—she takes her candid approach with such love and light that those feelings of frustration never stay for long. It’s her greatest honor to sit with you, hold space for you, and guide you on this journey so that you can reconnect to yourself and then to others. A life of joy and fulfillment awaits, and she lives this from personal experience.
Divorce isn’t the end of your journey. It’s the beginning.
